HiFi Rose RS250
I’ve had a 150B purchased from Upscale for about 3 weeks now.  Sources are Qobuz, Spotify and it has every available internet radio, podcast and YouTube  that you tune in on a vintage looking UI - very cool.  There is a Korean gent that does a rea... 
Library disappointment?
@dadork have you figured out the Qobuz song recommendation issue?  Doesn’t seem to have a similar music or playlist radio type function, but maybe I just haven’t found it.  When selected music, song or playlist ends, it just starts playing totally... 
Library disappointment?

Diablo 300 vs Luxman 590AXii with Sopra 3
Regarding adequate bass: I have a single REL S-812 to support the two Sopras, and if necessary could add a second S812 for stereo subs, but i'm staring with 1. I hope to have bass needs covered with the single REL. Regarding adequate power at 30w... 
Diablo 300 vs Luxman 590AXii with Sopra 3
Definitely going integrated amp for flexibility.  I am curious about the 30W Luxman being enough power due to larger room size, but I hear it's a beefy amp due to it being Class A.  I don't have expertise on if it's enough power.  Open to thoughts...
